The Order of the Towel

Selfish ambition can be the downfall of both church and society. The antidote to selfish ambition and vain conceit is humility, something our society might consider weakness. Moving from a self-centered life to an others-centered life involves risk, commitment, vulnerability, and trust.

From Hostility to Grace

When we’ve been wronged by someone in a personal way, it’s hard to overcome the shame that comes from a loss of agency. And that makes forgiveness or restoration all the more difficult. It makes bitterness and pain hard to beat. How can we continue to be life-giving and relationally healthy when inevitable wrongs rob us of something as important as dignity? Some ancient wisdom from the letter to Colossians sheds some light on that.

From Insecurity to Hospitality

Insecurity may not be the first thing that comes to mind when we think about the barriers to building and maintaining a healthy community. But how many times do we hesitate to invite people into our homes because we’re afraid our kids will disobey or they won’t like our cooking? How often do we resist talking to new people because we’re worried about saying something silly or maintaining small talk? Hospitality is life-giving and it helps us to be better people. How can we overcome insecurity to engage in life-giving hospitality? A scene from the life of Jesus in Luke 14 sheds some light on that very question.

Talk to Me

Given the rise of NEGATIVE communication patterns and habits, we want to LEARN and PRACTICE better ways of communicating with one another – in the church, at home, in the workplace, and online. How do we SPEAK to each other in ways that are LIFE-giving and FAITH-strengthening?

From Loneliness to Love

Thanks to a three-year Tri-demic of coronavirus, political divisiveness, and racial pain, we find ourselves more isolated, more wary, and more protective than ever when it comes to relationships.  But you can’t be a disciple or make a disciple alone; on an island.  You have to be IN RELATIONSHIP.
